Nora is a 2-year-old cat with gor­geous green eyes who was aban­doned this winter while preg­nant.

The cat was res­cued and was able to get food, warmth and a se­cure place to have her ba­bies, though they did not sur­vive be­cause of their moth­er’s lack of nu­tri­tion while she battled the cold and snow.

Nora is in foster care via North­east An­im­al Res­cue. She’s been spayed and mi­cro­chipped, is cur­rent on vac­cin­a­tions, and has tested neg­at­ive for the fe­line im­mun­ode­fi­ciency and leuk­emia vir­uses. She likes to play with toys and snuggle in bed. She does not like oth­er cats.
